Abstract

The current elementary mathematics curriculum does not include intensive quantity. However, other subjects also deal with intensive quantity. In order to find a solution to this problem from a pedagogical point of view, the curriculum of mathematics, science, social studies, and elementary textbooks were compared and analyzed, focusing on intensive quantity. As a result of the analysis, the learning contents of intensive quantity were not explicitly presented or the term was not used in the elementary mathematics curriculum. However, intensive quantity was used as a material of activity and word problems in elementary mathematics textbooks. In science and social studies, it was also found that the learning order and content did not match, such as calculating the intensive quantity. For effective learning, it is necessary to consider presenting intensive quantity in elementary mathematics, and to be careful in the composition of learning order and content.

현행 초등 수학과 교육과정에서는 내포량에 대하여 다루지 않지만, 타 교과에서 관련 내용을 다루는 문제가 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제의 해결 방안을 모색하고자 교수학적 관점에서 내포량을 중심으로 초등 수학, 과학, 사회 교과의 교육과정과 교과서를 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 초등 수학 교육과정에서 내포량에 대한 성취 기준을 제시하거나 해당 용어를 내용 요소로 명시하지 않았으나 초등 수학 교과서에서 차시 활동 및 문장제의 소재로 활용하고 있었다. 타 교과에서 내포량에 대하여 먼저 학습하거나 내포량을 계산하는 등 학습 순서 및 내용이 일치하지 않는 것도 나타났다. 효과적인 학습을 위하여 초등 수학 교과에서 내포량을 다룰 것을 고려할 필요가 있으며 타 교과에서 해당 개념을 지도할 때 수학 교과와의 연계성을 고려하여 학습 순서와 내용을 구성하여야 한다.
